Nintendo rolls out fitness product: report

Games maker Nintendo Co is planning to launch a new physical fitness product called Wii Fit for U.S. shipping in May, according to the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.

The Wii Fit will come with a weight-and-motion sensing device called the Wii Balance Board, according to the report.

Nintendo is also planning to launch a new online service in the U.S. in May called WiiWare that will allow game publishers to distribute new titles over the Internet directly to users instead of on discs.

A Nintendo spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.
